EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Only a glass of Cider" transports us back to the 19th century, where the English School artist skillfully captures a moment of temptation and contemplation. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally created for Chatterbox in 1885. In this digitally cleaned image, we see a solitary glass filled with golden cider resting on a table. The warm hues and intricate details invite us to explore further. It is as if time stands still as we ponder the significance behind this simple yet evocative scene. The presence of alcohol in this artwork raises themes of both indulgence and restraint. A poem comes to mind - perhaps one that warns against the allure and dangers associated with drinking. This piece serves as a visual reminder that even something as innocent-looking as a glass of cider can hold immense power over our choices. As viewers, we are left contemplating our own relationship with alcohol - its role in society, its impact on individuals' lives, and the fine line between moderation and excess. Through this engraving's delicate strokes and thought-provoking subject matter, it encourages us to reflect upon our own temptations while appreciating the beauty found within such artistic expressions.
